Cylindrical Approximation of Tubular Organs for Virtual Endoscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual endoscopy is a promising medical application of volume visualization techniques. A virtual endoscopy system requires high quality and perspective projection rendering, as well as real-time navigation. In this paper the generation of a cylindrical structure for tubular shaped organs (i.e. colon, aorta) is presented. This structure represents an approximation of the real organ. The cylindrical structure will be used to accelerate high quality volume rendering.

Autonomous Virtual Mobile Robot for the Exploration of 3D Medical Images
Imaging techniques, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computerized Tomography (CT), can provide nowadays high-resolution volumetric representations of the inner human body. Thus, non-invasive visualization and analysis of organs’ structures and functions have become increasingly more important in medical research and clinical practice. Nevertheless, any thorough examination involves ...
متن کاملUsing a Virtual Reality Environment to Simulate the Pushing of Cylindrical Nanoparticles
With the rise in the use of AFM (Atomic Force Microscope), we have witnessed a growing use of atomic microscope based nanorobots in the precise displacement of various particles. There are certain limitations to the application of nanorobots in the moving of nanoparticles. One of the most important of these limitations is the lack of an appropriate image feedback concurrent with the displaci...
متن کاملPath extraction in 3D medical images for virtual endoscopy
This paper presents a fast and eecient algorithm that computes a path useful for guiding endoscopic viewing that only depends on a start and end point. This is based on previous work (Cohen and Kimmel, 1997) for extracting paths in 2D images, given only the two extremities of the path and the image as inputs, with a front propagation equation. This technique maps the active contours (Kass et al...
متن کاملMiddle Ear Virtual Endoscopy in Malleus Fracture and Dislocation
Ossicular injury is a frequent complication of head trauma and temporal bone fractures. An isolated fracture of the malleus with lateral dislocation of the manubrium is extremely rare. High-resolution computed tomography is the method of choice for evaluation of ossicular trauma. Virtual endoscopy (VE) is a novel technique that provides a realistic surface rendering of various organs that can b...
متن کاملDiscrepancies Between Free Vibration of FML and Composite Cylindrical Shells Reinforced by CNTs
In this study, discrepancies between the free vibration of fiber-metal laminate (FML) and composite cylindrical shells reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on Love’s first approximation shell theory have been considered by beam modal function model. The representative volume elements consist of three and four phases for composite and FML structures, respectively, which include fiber, CNT...
